PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Silky Malachite is generally known for it fibrous / needle rosette or fan like crystalline formations. Specimens are often very chatoyant and sparkling in appearance. Silky Malachite is a green Copper Carbonate Hydroxide mineral with a chemical composition of Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. It was one of the first ores used to produce pure Copper Cathode (66% CU). Malachite has a widely variable habit ranging from botryoidal, silky and stalactite like forms. The dense banded or flower pattern material is considered best for cutting material, whilst rich colour, chatoyancy and habit is considered important for Silky Malachite.Product Data
